What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is exceptionally gentle. The natural cycles of leaves falling and branches being bare in winter are presented as part of a beautiful, normal process, not as a metaphor for loss or death. The approach is secular and universally accessible.
Ideal Reader
A curious, nature-loving child aged 5 to 7 who benefits from prompts to slow down and observe their surroundings. It is also an excellent choice for a more boisterous child as a calming prelude to outdoor play, or for any child being introduced to poetry for the first time, as the free-verse style is very approachable.
